About energy, amusing individual showed concern (5)
I believe the answer is:
cared
'showed concern' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'about energy amusing individual' is the wordplay.
'about' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'energy' becomes 'AC' (AC is an example).
'amusing individual' becomes 'red' (red is a kind of individual. I am not sure about the 'amusing' bit.).
'ac' written backwards gives 'ca'.
'ca'+'red'='CARED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cared that I've seen before include "Tended" , "Felt affection (for)" , "Felt concern or interest" , "had feelings" , "Was concerned" .)
